ball magic

Since the World Cup came out in 1998, Owen has attracted a wave of fans all over the world.

If you compare the number of fans between him and Beckham, he is not afraid at all.

According to what we say now, he was the British emperor star of that era and the top traffic in England.

And this is Owen, who returned to Anfield after half a year after joining Inter Milan.

Not to mention that one of the two teams has already won 5 trophies this year and is about to sprint for the 6th, while the other has won 4 trophies.

Even if you don't discuss hot spots and gimmicks, but only discuss football itself, this is a game that fans are excited and looking forward to.

It was such a high-profile game.

Countless Liverpool held up their scarves and sang affectionately: "When you walk through a storm, you will never walk alone. Head up, don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of the storm, there is a golden sky, and the sweet song of a lark...",

It was at such a moment that Raphael made the commentators from various countries almost forget what they were talking about with a single action, and the audience in front of the TV looked at his back in shock.

Yes, his back view.

Because after leaving his own mark on the famous "thisisanfield" logo, Raphael has already walked into Anfield's long and narrow player tunnel with his head held high.

Behind him is Toldo.

At this moment, Tuo Baba is no different from the audience in front of the TV. He is also looking at Raphael's back, with resentment in his heart

Ahhhhh, brat, you're making trouble again!

And you still cause trouble when you don't agree with each other, I feel very sorry for you!

But I complained in my heart, and under the watchful eyes of the camera, the tall and long-armed Tuo Baba gently stroked the sign before entering the narrow player passage.

Well, in fact, he really wanted to touch it, really.

At this moment in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, when Redondo, who was behind Toldo, was also touching the sign, the commentator Andy Gray couldn't help wondering: "Is this a discussion with the people of Inter Milan?"

His partner Richard Coyce said: "Looking at Owen's expression, it shouldn't be."

He said this because the director now added a shot from Owen's perspective.

In the picture, Owen looks like a fool. In fact, every British person, even someone who knows the most basic English, can understand his mouth shape at the moment.

Undoubtedly, his small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, obviously greeting Raphael affectionately.

Andy Gray held back, but didn't hold back, and laughed directly.

But the camera quickly cut to the camera, and in the camera, Vieri was also very smoothly taking a shot on the logo, and behind Vieri was Irving.

"How will Owen choose? Will he touch it again after leaving Anfield?"

Gray spoke quickly, and in his words, Irving also stroked the slogan under the Liverbird like his teammates in front of him

"this is an field".

The only difference is that his movements are obviously slower, and with such slower movements, even if everyone can only see his back, they can still see a bit of miss and reluctance.

At this moment, Raphael, who was walking in the front row, had already walked out of the player tunnel amidst the singing of Liverpool fans, and his eyes were bright.

But in this stadium, the synonym for "brightness" should be red.

Yes, this is a red court, and it is only a red court.

But after seeing the ubiquitous red, the little boss of Manchester United felt a little bit of grievance.

Because at the moment all the Liverpool fans are holding up the red scarves and singing the song Never Walk Alone, who has the time to boo him?

Their singing voices are uniform, and their movements are like pasting and copying, so that their singing voices are somewhat sacred.

Although Raphael was a little disappointed, he admitted that he liked this picture.

because it makes him feel

Football is their religion.

Raphael loved this belief because it belonged to him too.

When he followed the referee to the center circle, the singing of the Liverpool fans gradually stopped, and the boos gradually sounded.

Raphael had just lifted his spirits when he realized that the boos had disappeared again.

Because Anfield did not have a modern big screen in the past, present and future, Rafael looked directly back and saw Owen enter the field.

Raphael understood.

Standing beside him, Toldo could see his expression clearly, and patted his ass.

Raphael looked at him in a flash!

Toldo has teased him like this a few times, and every time he can ignore his "I'll kill you straight Italian guys sooner or later" eyes, and this time is no exception.

Anyway, Raphael can't do anything to him.

This time was no exception. With the game imminent, Toldo ignored his gaze, but covered his mouth and whispered, "Do you really want to score today?"

But after he asked this sentence, Raphael instead looked at Vieri behind him.

Toldo didn't know if the guy behind him had revealed his secrets, but he saw Raphael saying, "Did you bet me and Owen?"

Toldo murmured to himself, this kid is getting harder and harder to fool, but he still shook his head like a rattle, "No, no bet."

Raphael raised his eyebrows. He knew these Italians too well, so if he didn't have them, he must have them.

But Raphael didn't bother to ask, but stretched out his hand to Toldo and said, "Deal."

Since Toldo wanted to make him cakes, why didn't he?

What's more, Liverpool's starting pair of strike partners are Heskey and Fowler.

I don't mean to disrespect them, but the current Fowler is definitely not as comprehensive as Irving, who is about to celebrate his 22nd birthday. He and Husky are not so much partners as Husky is his wingman.

Rafael believed in his teammates behind him, and even more in Toldo.

When the ball reaches Toldo's feet, it actually depends on the guy's mood.

Whether Toldo wants to give the ball to the center or the left depends on his momentary thoughts.So this guy is also a veritable papa of the striker.

Toldo gave Raphael a high-five, and heard Raphael say: "Remember to explain to me what happened later."

Tuo Baba: "..."

Again, this guy is really getting tougher.

Although the focus of this game was Irving, the "whispering" of Raphael and Toldo still attracted the attention of the camera, and even their little caddies raised their heads to see what they were talking about. What.

But such a fun scene, Andy Gray has no time to introduce at all, he is quickly introducing the rosters of players on both sides.

"Hollier continued to field a 442 formation today.

Compared with the matchup half a year ago, Liverpool's side has changed even more.

Especially in the choice of the backcourt and midfielder, the goalkeeper is Dudek who joined the team this summer. He previously played for Feyenoord in the Netherlands.

He has contributed a lot to Liverpool's unbeaten run of so many games this season.

In defense, Houllier made an interesting attempt. In this game, Riise returned to the position of left back. Hyypia and Henjos continued to form a central defender partner, and Carragher also changed from the previous one. The field kicked away the defender and turned to the right.

In midfield, Danny Murphy replaced McAllister, and he and Harman will bear a lot of pressure today.

Vladimir and Gerrard served as the left and right midfielders respectively.

Huskey and Fowler partnered forward. "

After introducing the home team, he didn't have time to catch his breath before continuing to introduce Inter Milan.

"Compared to what Houllier tried with the formation, Toshack continued with a 433-[-]-[-] formation.

The goalkeeper is still Toldo.

The defense from left to right are: Ashley Cole, Cannavaro and Stam, Panucci.

The midfield is Jaminha, Redondo and Juan.

The front trident is Rafael, Vieri and Owen.

Compared with our pre-match predictions, this lineup is because Vieri has made the starting lineup, and Figo and Zanetti should be on rotation..."

Speaking of which.Richard Coyce was finally able to interject, "Comparing the benches on both sides, I think Houllier must be envious of Toshack at this moment."

But Andy Gray, a super venomous tongue, smiled and said: "Oh, no, no, I don't think so. After all, the French coach kept saying that he spent a lot of money and bought a bunch of good players. It doesn't mean winning games. That's the beauty of football."

Richard Coyce was amused by him, because these were the words Houllier mocked Ferguson after winning the "Double Red Club" last month.Three (iii) YQχδ.℃òΜ

While they bantered, Rafael also finished the pre-match ceremony with Liverpool captain Hyypia.

Inter Milan has the ball.

When Rafael handed the exchanged team flag and the warm-up suit he just took off to the staff, and was about to return to the court, huge boos roared.

Because the booing came too suddenly and violently, it even reminded Rafael of the roaring engine sound of an F1 car.

Turns out Liverpool fans are England fans too.

They also boo the visiting players after they have performed their sacred ritual.

Because of Raphael's multiple identities, they booed the most!

Raphael walked to the middle circle amidst huge boos, and the object of Liverpool fans' boos was also changing with the introduction of the home commentary.

After Vieri was also booed, the home commentary also reported the name of the last Inter Milan player

"Number 9, Michael Owen"

The Liverpool fans who were still booing vigorously just now also got stuck at this moment, and were replaced by applause from the fans one after another.

Raphael glanced in Owen's direction, only saw a figure from the back, but at the same time received a disgusting wink from Vieri Barra.

Although he knew that it might be useless, Raphael still gave him a look, and the game was about to start!

Just after Vieri withdrew his gaze, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After a simple pass, the ball reached Jaminia's feet.

Facing today's game, Houllier is obviously well prepared.

As soon as the ball was passed to Jaminia's feet, a defensive player was pasted in front of the Brazilian bald head. It was the Czech midfielder Vladimir.

It is worth mentioning that the Czech midfielder is "only" 1.8 meters tall, which is much more flexible than McAllister, who played against Jaminia in the previous game.

After he pounced on him, Jaminia took it easy and flirted!

The game has just started, and many fans have not turned on the TV. After the first touch of the game, Jaminia showed a rainbow!

This extraordinary person came so suddenly. A simple and unpretentious Czech boy like Vladimir, how could he think that the Brazilians are so "unconscionable", caught off guard, and almost slipped to the waist...

Jaminia made a breakthrough at the beginning of the game, but he didn't show himself to the end. After passing Vladimir, he rubbed his feet and made a brilliant arc, sending the ball to Rafa in the frontcourt. at your feet.

However, because Jaminia's passing intention was too obvious, Carragher also appeared in front of Rafael at the moment he passed the ball.

The first time Carragher played against Rafael was in distant Malaysia.

That year, there was no apricot blossoms and light rain, but only painful memories that will never be forgotten in the sweltering heat.

Before Carragher completely buried this painful youth memory, they faced each other again in the national team.

Saying goodbye to the night at Wembley, Raphael also left a scar on Carragher's heart.

Although it was a friendly match, Rafael played as a tmd left back in that match!

Now the two are facing each other again.

With the previous painful experiences, Carragher has learned his lesson this time.

I won't take the initiative to stretch my feet. I'm stuck in the position now. If you want to go over, you have to go past me first!

Of course Rafael would not know his inner os, the moment he received the ball, he observed the positions of other teammates in the penalty area.

Obviously, Houllier also changed his defensive style after learning the lessons of the last game. At this moment, Liverpool's defense line is very tight, the players perform their duties, and Carragher also blocked his passing position.

Because Carragher's position selection was very successful this time, if he continued to charge forward, he would have to bring the ball directly to the bottom line and pass the ball in an inverted triangle. The efficiency was too low, so he didn't want to choose.

So Raphael chose another path. At this moment, his left shoulder was slightly heavy, pretending to break through on Carragher's left side.

When Carragher saw this action, his heart was also trembling.

But he still chose to stick to his position, after all, there are other teammates behind him, especially Dudek.

On the contrary, Raphael suddenly started at this moment. Seeing that he was really about to force a breakthrough on his left side, Carragher couldn't help it anymore.

Just when he stretched out his foot to try to poke the ball away from Rafael's feet, he saw Rafael pull his left foot and then turn around. When Rafael's foot smashed the ball again and passed the ball, Carragher's mind rumbled through a train named Time.

Squeeze!

This tm is a marseille!

But Rafael obviously prefers to call him Maradona extraordinary.

When the ball disappeared at Rafael's feet, and the camera changed from a close angle to an aerial position, Andy Gray was amazed!

"Jaminia takes the ball, puts it through and we're just glad Vieri isn't ready."

Even though Vieri didn't seize this opportunity, Toshack on the sidelines still applauded his disciples on the sidelines.

A ghost, a genius, they dominated this offense in a stunning way.

This is also his favorite football.

In fact, it is not appropriate to say that Vieri is not ready, because he just shot against Hyypia, who is 195 cm tall.

Because of the impact on the force, the ball was easily crushed by Dudek.

Failure to score a goal made Vieri feel a little regretful, but he still smiled at Brazil's bald head for the first time.

Jaminia obviously also liked his way. At the moment when the two "looked at each other and smiled" and "passionate", Rafael ran out of the penalty area without hesitation.

Let them make their own eyes.

After running a little farther, Rafael looked at Dudek who was scolding Owen to stay away.

In all fairness, the Polish goalkeeper is not among the top goalkeepers in Rafael's mind. Although he often has a god-level performance, he often concedes goals that make the coach the biggest headache.

So in his heart, Dudek is a nerve knife.

This knife is enough to hurt people, but if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.

However, a Champions League final is enough to make Dudek completely convincing and enter the annals of football history.

And that game was the Champions League final of the 0405 season, the night that created a miracle in Istanbul.

Unfortunately, in the current season, Dudek, who just joined Liverpool, used his excellent and stable performance to put the Dutch goalkeeper Westerveld directly on the bench, and also set a great example for Liverpool. meritorious service.

But such Dudek, on the contrary, aroused Rafael's competitive spirit.

Just as he wanted to conquer Anfield, he also wanted to penetrate Dudek's ten fingers.

After the game continued, Liverpool tentatively launched an attack on the left side amidst the singing of the home fans.

In the 5th minute of the first half, Vladimir, who had been ruthlessly played by Jaminia before, fought back. When he was advancing with the ball, he directly had a physical confrontation with Jaminia, and both of them were thrown off their feet.

The referee is also an old acquaintance of Raphael, the Swiss Dick Joel who once whistled for their game.

Dick signaled for the game to continue without looking after the two collided.

Before Juan could control the ball, the ball was cut off by Gerrard, and then a long pass was sent to Fowler's feet.

Before Fowler tried to shoot, he was knocked down by Stam with the ball.

Such an ecstasy scene also made Houllier look shocked, and what made the French coach even more upset was that Dick still didn't blow, and now the ball was won by Panucci, and the Italian ran with the ball all the way!

Seeing Inter Milan turn from defense to offense, the old French coach couldn't help shouting from the sidelines.

Fortunately, because he repeatedly emphasized before the game that several defenders did not press too much, they returned to defense very quickly at this moment.

But at this moment, it was the two visiting team players who were faster and more eye-catching!

Look, Raphael and Owen, they're flying!

Toshack also smiled when he saw the scene where Owen rode the top and Raphael followed closely behind.

He sees a goal, provided Panucci gets the ball to their feet.

Facts have proved that the Italian's cross footwork is still good. After he passed the ball, Rafael judged the route of the ball, which made him speed up his pace.

When the ball fell in the air and before it hit the ground, he hit the ball hard!

After seeing this action, Liverpool fans were surprised, was it a shot?

But when the fans saw the arc of the ball, they were surprised to find that it was a pass, and they were looking for Irving who had already entered the penalty area!

Because of the lessons learned last time, it is Hyypia and Carragher who stay in the penalty area at this moment.

Carragher is Owen's childhood sweetheart and knows him best. He is also a panacea in the backcourt and can play multiple positions. It is Houllier's helpless attempt to let him defend Irving.

But facing this friend who grew up together, Owen became more rational and speeded up.

Eating raw is the easiest way to score a goal that Irving can think of.

Carragher thought of this when he saw his stride change, knowing the speed gap between the two men, so before things got worse, Carragher went straight to the bottom and tackled.

But Owen's line of defense is this!

At the moment Carragher hit the bottom, Owen, who was confident enough in his speed, chose to overtake on a corner and avoided Carragher directly.

After that, Owen didn't hesitate at all, and moved forward again!

But this detour wasted some time, and it also gave Hypia a chance to get closer to him. Seeing that the shooting angle was half blocked, Owen directly tried a shot.

When seeing this scene, Raphael also accelerated his sprint speed.

Sure enough, when Owen shot, the ball was directly blocked by Dudek because of the limited angle. After Owen shot, he was heavily pressed by Hyypia, whose center of gravity was shifted, and could not complete the knife.

But Raphael is still sprinting!

Realizing the crisis, Carragher rushed to the ball as fast as he got up.

Because of the distance, Carragher was a step ahead.

Carragher originally wanted to clear the ball, but Rafael was too close to him, which made him dare not take the risk, so he tried to clear the ball into the air.

But who knew that Raphael could actually accelerate at this time!

It was such a miscalculation that made Raphael kill him right in front of his eyes.

Carragher was trying to push him away, ready to clear the ball again with his chest, and this was enough time for Hyypia to get up to meet him.

But what he didn't expect was that Raphael, who was a circle thinner than him, pushed him away abruptly, and the ball that fell from the air just landed on his shoulders, and with his shoulders With no force, let the ball come to him obediently.

Carragher, who was squeezed away, chased back with shock.

His turning speed is not too slow. If Rafael wants to shoot, he needs to adjust the timing, right?

Maybe there is still a chance to save it!

But when Carragher turned halfway around, he found that Rafael adjusted the direction of the ball again with just one knee.

He watched helplessly as the Argentine dunked past Dudek calmly and cruelly, picking the ball into the empty goal.

屮!

Carragher felt that he was about to have a psychological shadow!

And Rafael, who scored such a goal, rushed to the corner kick and knelt after taking a look at the coach's bench.

It's okay to score a goal, but dare to come to celebrate?

It's fine to celebrate, but he still dares to slide and kneel?

Amidst the curses of more than 5 Liverpool fans, Raphael made a famous football celebration

Bow and shoot at the moon.

Yes, this is Calderon Prince Kiko's signature celebration that is so handsome that he explodes.

After being caught up by teammates behind him, Rafael stood up and showed his jersey lining to the camera.

Written in Spanish on the white lining

einino, head held high, keep going!

It was his gift to Torres, who had just recovered from his injury.
